Hoping to get my Skylark back on the road with in a week, I took it off the road about a month ago to go through an EFI conversion from an untuned Q-jet.
Right before I bolted the intake on.
The intake is just sitting there for mock up purposes at the moment.
Same as above but the other side.
The Relay Board for all the sensors. (yes I have the wrong fuse in one of the injector banks)
Just a few minor things left, hope to have 99.9% of them taken care of tomorrow

i'm glad someone has done this and is willing to share the info
randall, you're my hero 
seems like one of the mags addressed this swap some time ago but no detailed articles
i've learned more from your pictures than any mag or even the manufacturers own advertising
please post tuning details as they become available

I have been putting around town in it the last couple days. Still a ways off from a final tune (hey it's my first time =P) but it's running and driving.
Here is a Youtube video made the morning after I got it running. I have all the idle air going through the IAC bypass, which isn't correct and makes one heck of a whistle, lol, or as rebeldrver said, one heck of a Hoover =P It's idling around 900rpm in the video.

I have the TA118 cam, roughly 9.6:1 compression. I have no clue what the car weighs. The pedals are factory pieces off a '76 Nova, a simple bolt on deal with the z-bar and other clutch mechanicals.
